Thanks girls for all your lovely comments! We’re hoping to get again on another day – the leaves still haven’t hit their peak yet. hopefully we’ll have a sunny day before our autumn winds blow them all away 🙂 I promise pictures.

Your photos are a delicious feast for the eyes….wow! So much beauty and such artistic composition. I really truly enjoyed looking at every one of them. That country lane…sigh, wish were there. The last one with your two shadows was fun too.

Wow…whoa…how do you manage to sleep at night knowing there is so much beauty to be seen during the day? THANK YOU for sharing your Island with us. I am just delighted with each and every photograph!And by the by…you commented on Sara’s blog that you though a persimmon might be sour. When they are not ripe, they are the most bitter thing you will ever eat. Worse than an asprin. Once they ripen, they are sweet like honey, syrupy, jammy like sweet and simply differnent than anything else. Maybe just a touch of date flavor…best I can come up with. I hope you try one one day. Just remember it isn’t ripe until it feel like it would go splat if you squeezed it!

Kathie, this was lovely to read! What a joy to follow you around the island. And to catch a glimpse of you!You just might have a butternut tree at that farmhouse–they are more cold resistant than other walnut trees and they can be found in New England. The husks will be hairy and sticky. If you do have a butternut, that’s a real treat–the nuts are tasty.You live in a beautiful land!XO

I am just in awe of the beauty and delight of these photos. Heavenly! I want to come live with you for awhile and follow you around the island and see those beautiful sights. You are blessed to live in such beauty and to have a special friend who shares your love of it.Thanks for sharing such a lovely view of what God has made.Susan
